Add (unassigned) input gesture to toggle periodically refresh OCR #16897

Description

@Qchristensen

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When using OCR, NVDA has the ability to "Periodically refresh recognised content" (there is a checkbox with that name in NVDA's "Windows OCR" settings category).

For those who regularly use the feature, it would be useful to have the ability to quickly toggle it on and off with a keystroke.

Describe the solution you'd like

An unassigned gesture in NVDA's input gestures to toggle "Periodically refresh recognised content".

Describe alternatives you've considered

A gesture could be assigned by default. If someone would like that, please make a case in the comments.

Additional context

Periodic OCR was introduced in #15331 closing issue #2979 in NVDA 2023.3.
